The Ganyu banner, on the other hand, would then be called as the Adrift in the Harbor. The five-star Cryo archer character will appear alongside the support of three-star Pyro character Xiangling who uses a spear, three-star Hydro character Xinqui who uses a sword, and the four-star Geo character Noelle who uses a claymore.

Her main weapon would be the bow and arrow in which she could utilize it in order to perform a potential upwards of six consecutive shots as a part of her normal attack. Her talent lists the Trail of Qilin, by which she could drop a single Ice Lotus flower on the ground. It could then attract enemies on the area, in which it could turn to a damage-dealing barrage of Cryo onslaught.
